People’s Participation 

Villagers participate with enthusiasm in the well construction offering their labour , collecting local material (sand, gravel, and stones). purchasing bricks and, when possible, 3-4 sacks of cement. Their contribution is essential for making the program sustainable as users will then be more responsible for the operation and maintenance of the wells. The drilling success rate has been between 85 and 95%.
